  11. Don't Assign Homework Benefits: - Shows students you value their time and only assign homework when it is meaningful Disadvantages: - Missed learning opportunities - Parents may think you are "easy"

  12. Provide All the Answers Benefits: - Instant feedback - Easy to implement Disadvantages: - Hard to monitor Modifications: - Have students note incorrect answers or summarize errors

  13. Lag Homework Content Benefits: - More students are successful - Exposure to content is spread over a longer period of time Disadvantages: - Can be a bit more confusing at first because class does not match homework

  14. Homework Schedule Benefits: - Predictable schedule for students Disadvantages: - Loss of flexibility Modifications: - Only schedule certain days of the week. (Ex: Monday night is always review)

  15. All Week on Monday Benefits: - Flexibility for students Disadvantages: - Requires time management - Less teacher flexibility Modifications: - Works really well when combined with lagging homework content

  16. Choose a Set of Problems Benefits: - Students self-differentiate - Students must reflect on their needs Disadvantages: - Takes additional time to develop Modifications: - Be upfront about the differences in the sets

  33. For this problem, I am glad to say I did not try to rely as heavily on peer observations and help. There were a couple instances, however, when I needed some assistance from my classmates. Nancy asked me what I had found, and I told her I had only six solutions. (...) I am glad she did not just give me the answer, but I still could not find ten on my own, so I asked Mike for help the next class period. (All names changed)
